La oferta del Newcastle a Osasuna es de 35+5 (la cláusula son 40). La oferta al jugador es muy suculenta y con un papel protagonista tras la salida de Gordon. El Real Madrid no tiene intención de recomprarlo. Los próximos días, claves para cerrarlo.

STANDSWe have information on Liverpool’s new signing Víctor Muñoz ⬇️ We understand he held talks with Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Newcastle United. When Liverpool called, his mind was made up. His tenacity and work ethic are impressive. He has a low center of gravity and a powerful physique that lets him breeze past defenders. Víctor Muñoz thrives in one-on-one situations. He can play across the forward line, which impresses Liverpool the most. What stands out is his ability to receive the ball with his back to goal. He makes excellent turns and is a fantastic link-up player, always looking to create opportunities. His crossing and cut-backs are solid, adding another dimension to his game. He also has a great shot, making him a constant threat in the final third.

I can now exclusively reveal that Bayern Munich have suffered yet another crushing setback in what is rapidly turning into one of the most humiliating transfer windows in recent memory, with Vincent Kompany and Max Eberl investing days of discussions, presentations and persuasion attempts in an effort to convince Spanish talent Víctor Muñoz to move to Bavaria, only to find themselves facing yet another rejection despite aggressively pushing the project, a scenario that has become increasingly familiar for a club that once expected Europe’s brightest talents to answer the phone immediately whenever Bayern Munich came calling. The rejection becomes even more damaging when considering that Muñoz would have preferred a move to Newcastle United over Bayern Munich, a choice that would have been almost unthinkable a decade ago but now serves as another uncomfortable reminder of how dramatically the landscape has shifted, with the Bundesliga’s ability to attract elite talents continuing to weaken while the Premier League tightens its grip on world football, leaving self-proclaimed giants Bayern Munich repeatedly forced into the role of spectators as target after target chooses a different path, and with every rejection the illusion that the Bayern badge remains one of football’s irresistible destinations continues to crumble before their eyes. Interestingly enough, the race took a dramatic twist and was effectively buried the very moment newly appointed Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola entered discussions and informed the player that Liverpool Football Club wanted him, because Bayern Munich can offer trophies and Germany can offer domestic dominance, but Liverpool offers something entirely different, something that exists beyond contracts, salaries and sporting projects, a football cathedral standing beneath the grey skies of Merseyside where history breathes through every brick of Anfield, where generations of legends have walked the same tunnel, where the famous red shirt carries the weight of immortality, where You’ll Never Walk Alone echoes like a sacred hymn across the footballing universe, and where dreams are not merely promised but woven into the very identity of the club itself, leaving Bayern Munich once again watching from afar as another player looked towards those mythical Anfield lights, heard the call of one of football’s greatest institutions and immediately knew his future lay anywhere but Bavaria.

There is no point pretending otherwise. Newcastle had a bid accepted for Victor Munoz and the player chose to go to Liverpool. It’s a painful blow and brings back bad memories for #nufc from last summer. When there is competition for targets they have a nasty habit of missing out. But it’s a long summer. Judge the window in September not June. There are other targets they are working on.

I for one love to see the club signing Munoz who they clearly believe can take the next step at Liverpool. Buying a ready-made star is fun, but Liverpool turned Mane, Salah, Firmino, etc into stars and I'd love to see them do it with Munoz.

STANDSMore on Víctor Muñoz and Liverpool. #LFC have triggered Muñoz's €40m clause with the fee to be paid in two instalments. Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards worked discretely for some time in order to pull off the deal. Newcastle were in advanced talks, but Liverpool also won the race ahead of interest from Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen. And Real Madrid explored bringing Muñoz back but concerns over playing time made this a non-starter. Muñoz was discussed with Andoni Iraola in early squad planning conversations allowing the club to move quickly. The appeal is in Muñoz's ability to play left and right wing as well as centre-forward. This versatility also makes Liverpool feel Rio Ngumoha will still to get opportunities. Medical done on Wednesday after permission granted by the RFEF with Liverpool staff flying out to the United States. Muñoz has agreed a six-year contract. Meanwhile, it is likely Federico Chiesa departs, even though his style is well-suited to Iraola's system. Italian is looking for regular minutes.🔴

Exclusive 💣 ▪️Newcastle furious 🤬 ▪️New targets 👀 Newcastle United is in a frenzy after losing out on Victor Munoz to Liverpool. They had everything lined up, even a medical scheduled for yesterday, but now they’re left scrambling. The frustration is palpable among the officials. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Reports from our sources are surfacing that the club is now in talks with the representatives of Darwin Núñez and Marcus Rashford. Both players could bring a fresh spark to the squad. Núñez offers that explosive attacking threat, while Rashford's pace and creativity could be game-changers. Newcastle is determined to bounce back and make a statement in the transfer market.
